SF Rediscovery series (Equinox/Avon)
The covers of all 27 titles as compiled by the Internet Speculative Fiction Database
SF Rediscovery is a series of trade paperback editions of novels and anthologies by science fiction writers such as Philip José Farmer, Robert Silverberg, Harry Harrison, and E.C. Tubb. Between 1974 and 1977, a total of 27 books were published by Equinox, an imprint of Avon Books. This probably makes it the most extensive use of Eightway, a shaded all-caps grotesque designed by Milton Glaser and George Leavitt.
All book covers feature the Shaded Southwest style, that is the variant with a shadow to the bottom left of the outlined letterforms. This treatment is echoed in the (custom) SF logo as well as the border around the cover art. The last ten books additionally show the series number in the top left corner, revealing that the Eightway typeface also comprised numerals.
